It would definitely be a modular one, the campaign will have its control scheme. As for multiplayer I think there should be one governed by the game type that is being played instead of a universal one size fits all. Back to the Reach/H4 for a metaphorical comparison in H4 you had players chose their loadouts, and of course the player is going to chose the one that gives them the most advantage. In reach there were loadouts but it was set by the gametype, if there was a specific loadout you don’t think belong in the multiplayer environment, you can edit that loadout away from the game. Also if there was something you didn’t like (ie the motion tracker) you could have it disabled just like a SWAT game. I am for options, but I want it to be a community choice, not studio, and not each player. There has to be some delegation of options, but I still want that option to be available, rather than outright removed. You can ban it from the tournament scenes (i don’t see many scorpions in MLG), but let it go into the game as something that can be experimented with.

So, No software limitation explanation?

Campaign would have its own? What features would it use? Spartan Abilities? Armor Abilities? Equipment? Dual Wielding? Would we be restricted to these old ones only and get nothing new? If not, what would that be and you’d smack that on top of an already crowded controller?

Then, each time you’d jump between single player and multiplayer you’d have to get used to a different scheme, not to talk about the supposed different schemes between game modes themselves. Even the options menu would be a forest of sub-menus and what not to accommodate all that.

But wait, there’s more.
That’d be quite the definition of incoherent gameplay.
Jumping from mode to mode, having to re-adjust to a new scheme each time.
Let’s also not forget the massive amounts of different combinations of enabled features they’d need to account for.

inb4: “custom game options”.
Has there been a Halo game where base gameplay assets and asset specific animations have been regulated to being an option only, and not used as the default mode of game play?
CTF, assault and so forth does not count as base gameplay, as they are game type specific. I’m talking AAs, Dual Wielding and so forth.

If I recall correctly, i343 stated a long time ago, that Sprint is present in all of Halo 5’s default gameplay, because they want the experience to be consistent.

As grand as your ideas are, they aren’t feasible.
The most likely outcome you’ll get is a convoluted game, with poor execution in all types of features it tries to juggle with all the different combinations, and an off-putting sensation jumping between modes.

And before you go on a “lame game design” parade again:
1: You don’t know what I do for a living or my hobbies.
2: Have you read any of my suggestioner over the years?
3: Consider what your own career and hobbies are, then think about your wishes in this thread realistically.

You sound just like someone from another forum, all get rid of this and this has ruined a great game. Thing is I heard all these arguments before, in table top games in other games. All you do is cry and demand the removal of something claiming no skill or bad design or dare I say the dreaded N.P.E. and when you guys get your way, it is not enough, further more the game still suffers. So I gave you my reason but like every single meta-complainer I have come across. You immediately hit the reply and show that you don’t care for what others have to say. This is your game and you demand the experience you want. Sure that is reasonable, but then you demand that everyone else experiences it your way.

No I don’t know you personally, but I have met your personality in other places, it is all the same. Your suggestions are better off if they are ignored.

You need to calm down and decide whether you want to participate in this discussion or not. This thread isn’t your personal soapbox. If you wish to represent your personal opinions, you should expect for them to be challenged, and you should be able to handle that without lashing out at whoever is challenging your opinions. If you have something relevant to say or explain, then do so, but all this complaining about people’s attitudes, thinly veiled insults, and projection of your own caricatures of personalities onto others is entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand and needs to stop.

I’d be surprised by the hypocrisy, but I’m not surprised by the hypocrisy.

Guess I’m going to have to forget about getting a software limitation elaboration.

If I didn’t care, I would not have replied.
I asked how your vision would be realised, and presented the numerous obstacles which I think likely would be there which would detract from the experience, drawn both from own experiences as well as having heard and read from different reviewers.

It’s Microsoft’s game, and i343 do as they see fit.
I offer feedback and suggestion on what I think would make the game more enjoyable for me, I have zero obligations to think about anyone else in that regard.
I also do not demand anyone else to experience it the way I like it, because no one is forced to play anything they dislike to the extent that they do not wish to play it.

Oh so you do have read my many suggestions over the years?
It’s quite unfortunate that you think an overhaul of the global ordnance system from Halo 4 making it more competitive and fair is better off ignored, same for multi-directional gravitation coupled with zero-G Combat, combining medkits with regenerating health, multifunction weapons across the board, additions to existing vehicles, new vehicles and weapons, wall jumping, new types of map traversal entities, more map hazards, upgrades in theatre, AI usage and learning, improved Firefight and whatever else I might have forgotten.

You realised you conveniently skipped the second point, as you have with the aformentioned software limitation? And I never said anything about my personality, only what I do for a living and my hobbies.

2508

What about faster movement speed and no spartan abilities?

2509

I feel like a lot of people that say Classic Halo is slower haven’t played it since 5 released because the opposite is easily true. If you need an animation to make you feel like you’re going fast for it to be playable even though you’re going at the same speed I don’t really know what to say. I hope all Spartan Abilities are gone in Infinite, I hate gimmicks and animations that slow down gameplay getting in the way of Halo’s “easy to understand, hard to master” arena gameplay. I don’t enjoy Halo 5 nearly as much as Halo 2 or Online so at the risk of sounding stubborn I’m just going to say that I’m not going to be interested if Infinite uses 5’s gameplay. Games, for me, are supposed to be fun and I just don’t think Halo 5 is a fun game and it certainly doesn’t feel like what I expect from a Halo game just as Reach’s default settings and 4 didn’t.

2510

Halo Infinite with classic gameplay = chance to bring back so much player and revive the community halo used to had back in the days
Halo Infinite with H5 gameplay = will be forgotten within the next few months after release.
Just that simple.

thank you! this is the reality of the situation.if they try and cling to the halo 5 gameplay the game will quickly fade.

Could you elaborate on this?
“Moving fast” has gotten so many definitions now it’s difficult to accurately interpret what people mean anymore.

In terms of velocity, Halo 5’s BMS is higher than Halo 3’s BMS, and no default sprint in Halo have had its default velocity equal to any of the original titles’ BMS, all of which are identical to each other by the way.

I don’t get much out of those numbers, seeing as I don’t know how your experiments were conducted, let alone the lack of what those numbers represent, m/s??

So,
You took Truth and Midship (because it’s always those), or not those, then ran across the chosen maps, timed those runs and from that concluded that Halo 3 BMS is as fast in terms of velocity as Halo 5 sprint?

Yikes, straight to the insults.

I hope you realize that “seconds” is not a measurement of speed. Not many cars go “40 seconds” fast.

What happened to “I’d like to start a constructive discussion”?

2520

At the very least I want ground pound, spartan charge, and clamber gone in Halo Infinite. Halo 5 gets kind of old and boring. I’m in support of increasing the BM speed and getting rid of sprint. I would actually like to see loadouts return for BTB while keeping 4vs4 similar to Halos 1-3. In my opinion, Halo 4 had the best BTB and Halo CE remains the most competitive. Let’s combine the best of both.

The style of john’s armor was evolving with the game. Why to bring back the old mark… I kinda disagree with that… And feel a bit disappointed and somehow betrayed… I grew up playing halo and the graphics were getting better and better “maturing” as i was growing up, and now they just look kiddish so its like the game is not made for me anymore like i’m too much old lol, i’m 33 years old btw lol
